The Neighbors Are At It Again

Tweet

It wasn't even 8:00 this morning and my rude neighbors were outside on their balcony shrieking and hollering with their toddlers. Not like they were outside having fun or exploring -- they were just making noise for the sake of making noise. Yelling instead of talking and then laughing loudly and shrieking back when the kids shriek. That kind of behavior is rude early in the morning even if you live in a house with neighbors next door to you, but it's even more so when you live in an apartment. I have lived in this building for 9 years and I don't have children. Just because a family who has loud, bratty children moved in next door 8 years after I did doesn't mean I should be forced to listen to them screaming and throwing temper tantrums all day long. Worst yet is that the adults are encouraging their bad behavior by shrieking and hollering along with them. I don't know why they even live here, as the mom has a very good job at the same place my own mother works, and this family could easily afford to live in a house. Instead they are renting in a low income area and acting like bigger low lives than any of my other neighbors... And then they have the nerve to tell their kids not to talk to the other neighborhood children because they're "low lives." Sorry, the only low lives around here are them! Further proof that being a low life is not totally dependent on socio-economic status, but is all about attitude. I mean these people have a woman living on their balcony who has even laid out a throw rug and furniture... Whoever heard of that? If you have someone living on your balcony (who spends her days loudly talking on her phone, making out with her girlfriend, smoking pot and listening to loud rap music,) then I don't think you're in any position to pass judgement on others. I wish these people would move. What's really frustrating is that about two months ago they packed up all their belongings in a UHaul and DID move out of state! But they left the Balcony Woman behind and then ended up coming back. I've never heard of people holding onto an apartment in one state while relocating to another and then coming back to it. Further proof that they could afford to move to a nicer neighborhood, and give their kids a yard to play in. Instead I'm forced to hear their brats kick the wall and wail at the top of their lungs first thing in the morning, and if I complain about it people just say "Oh, that's what toddlers do." Just because toddlers are prone to temper tantrums doesn't mean the behavior should be tolerated or encouraged. These people have no respect for their neighbors, and I'm fed up with it. I'm tempted to pound on the walls and yell back at them when they're being noisy.
